Italian festival in April

The Central Coast Italian festival will be held on April 14 and 15 at the Ettalong Beach Tourist Resort.

The resort will be filled with classical and modern Italian tunes throughout both days and well into Saturday night, where the festival will give way to the Viva Nightclub.

A plethora of Italian vendors from all over the coast and Sydney will set-up for the event and, together with the permanent Ettalong Markets stallholders, provide attendees with a truly European shopping experience.

"Those looking for a quick bite and a cup of coffee could treat themselves to an Italian crepe or piadina," said organiser Mr Chris Farnon.

"Those looking to uncover the secrets of true Italian cooking will be treated to intimate cooking classes.

"There will be something for everyone at the Central Coast Italian Festival.

"Italian language classes, coffee courses and cooking demonstrations run all day, while the kids are kept busy with carnival rides and a permanent play-centre built into the markets.

"Now in its third year the Italian Festival is shaping up to be a landmark event that takes its visitors on a wonderful journey every year, right into the heart of Italy."
